fice should return them as soon
as the school term cloees or be
fore that time if they are not
being used,” Charles McNeill,
county welfare officer, stated to
day. ,

In most of the schools the
term is nearing its close and it

DISCLOSURES MADE
IN PRISON PROBE
Charlotte, March 13.—A leg
islative Jnveetlg^ing tommlttee
tonight had before It evidence
that North Carolina prison
camp officials had made a prac
tice of secret burials for friend
less victims of their disciplinary
practices.
Withholding the identity of
their informant, a former con
vict who Is still under suspend
ed sentence, members of the
committee tonight were unani
mous In their determination to
visit the scenes of lonely graves
described by him.
The committee was told that
when beatings, chained- suspen
sions and other forms of punish
ment proved fatal, bodies of the
victims were carted to lonely
mountain spots and buried and
the true circumstances of the
cases, glossed over in official re
ports.
The informant was quoted as
claiming to have been himself a
member of such burial parties,
and he offered to lead tho com
mittee in its quest.
The committee received the
startling testimony near what it
had expected would be the end
of an investigation into practic
es in Mecklenburg county which
were alleged to have resulted in
the death of two prisoners and
the loss of both feet by two oth
ers.
Testimony regarding other
hitherto unmentioned brutalities
at the Henry Little convict camp
near here was produced earlier
in the day as the committee be
gan its study.
Starting primarily as an inves
tigation of why it was necessary
to amputate the feet of two ne
gro convicts after they had been
chained in solitary confinement
at the camp, the legislators al
ready had heard evidence dis
crediting official reports on the
death of a negro inmate and at
tributing it to his having been
suspended in chains for a long
period.
Work of redecorating and ro-
finishing the interior of Rhodes-
Day Furniture Company’s attrac
tive store on the comer of Ninth
and C streets has been complet
ed and the results are an even
more attractive establishment.
The walls have been papered
and redecorated with an ar
rangement that Is highly pleas
ing to the e/e ood the entire
store has taken on a more at
tractive appearance, which is
enhanced by thk ttalOy arrival

NORTH WILKESBORO, N. C.
Raleigh, March 13.—^Dog leg
islation providing for the vacci
nation against rabies of all dogs
in the state once a year; the
kind of lawmaking that Senator
John Sprunt Hill prophesied if
it did nothing else would ruin
many a promising political ca
reer now budding in the legisla
ture was left hanging in tho air
after an hour's argument in the
senate today. Action was post
poned by agreement of propon
ents and opponents when it ap
peared that amendments ex
empting nearly a score of coun
ties were being offered and
would destroy the effect intend
ed in the hill. It was indicated
by Senator Gravely, who spon
sored this measure, introduced
by Representatives Fenner and
Abernethy in the house, that an
effort will be made to revamp
the measure to meet the objec
tions of those who are trying to
exempt their counties and that
he will seriously contend for
passage at a later date, prob
ably this week.
John D. Rockefeller Takes
Car Ride; Shows He la Well
Ormond Beach, Fla., March
13.—John D. Rockefeller, 95-
year-old oil millionaiie, today
showed that he is not ill at the
moment at least, by walking
down the steps of his Ormond
Beach winter home, entering his
automobile assisted only by the
arm of an attendant, and taking
a 30-mile auto ride.
Raleigh, March 13.'—Demo
crats purged theft- primaries of
Republican participants today in
the house, so the purgets pro
claimed, and in the sd&to'n' that
was a political epic tbw bulky
revenue bill was reported by
Chairman Cherry, of the finance
committee.
, The house action on the pri
mary measure followed protract
ed debate in which Minority
Leader Charles A. Jonas asked
the" majority not to affront elec
tors who might wish to change
their minds.
But the house did not stop at
expurgation. It tack«d an oath on
to the amendment and fixed it
so that Republicans must stay
put once they change. Several
Republican members' of the
house voted with the Democrats
—evidently to make certain that
the body of death will be tied to
the majority.
There was no patrisan heat in
the debate. Mr. Jonas had great
provocation but forewent it. He
told the Democrats that they
should have no trouble in get
ting the Republican votes wheth
er these were cast in accordance
with the primary pledges or not.
"Up in my country they can get
all the absentees they need,’’
Mr. Jonas said smilingly. Tam
Bowie, who was enjoying this
torture of the Republicans,
laughed widely at the Jonas
crack.
